Coheed and Cambria have set to release their new studio album, “The Father of Make Believe”, on March 14th, 2025, via Virgin Music Group. The new full-length marks the 11th studio album from the New York band and continues the narrative of “The Amory Wars” / “Vaxis” universe, following their 2022 album “Vaxis Act II: A Window of the Waking Mind”, which garnered critical success and the band’s first Top 10 radio single of their career with “Shoulders”.
Alongside the album’s announcement, Coheed and Cambria shares the new single “Searching for Tomorrow”, which arrives alongside an Anthony Scheppard-directed and animated video. Watch the video below.
“The Father of Make Believe” will also include the recently released single “Blind Side Sonny”, arguably Coheed and Cambriaa’s most aggressive track to date that was complemented by a Max Moore-directed video that unveiled a new villain in “The Amory Wars” realm.
Speaking about the new single and “The Father of Make Believe”, Coheed and Cambria, vocalist and lead guitarist Caludio Sanchez says: “This song is a reminder that always looking for something better in your life robs you of being able to appreciate the good things you already have. With every album I try to ‘outdo’ the one before, or at least make something that sounds different and evolved in some way. I think that initial struggle added to the feeling of having a kind of musical midlife crisis… this constant internal battle of searching for creative release and growth… the being unsure if it’s the right path. This one took more effort in the beginning, but in the end I think the digging was worth it for the subsequent surge”.
“The Father of Make Believe” will be available as a limited-edition box set featuring the CD and digital download along with various exclusives, including the “Blind Side Sonny” fully wearable and functional helmet and “neuro-dynamic display goggles”, as well as a coffee table book, poster and more.
